After 3 years a lost dog called Dolly has finally found a new home, after being abandoned by her owner 3 years ago.

In Calera, Alabama an animal control officer by the name of Chris Smith managed to rescue Dolly at the intersection of US 31 and Alabama 25 finally after following her.

Dolly was a tan mixed breed dog, and was well known for walking Calera’s subdivision and Kensington Manor apartments.

Animal control officer Chris who found Dolly said “it felt good to be able to get her off the street and get her to a good home”.

After hearing Dollys history Chris Smith and his wife Carla decided to keep Dolly and give her a good home.

According to Smith, Dollys former owner lived in the Waterford subdivision, where Dolly had been seen wandering. The owners moved out and left Dolly behind when they were faced with foreclosure.

One of the neighbours of the Waterford subdivision said that “for three years she came back every week to the yard where she had been left”. Carla Smith the wife of the animal officer that rescued Dolly said, “she just knew in her heart they would return for her.”

Unfortuntely Dollys owners never returned and the Dolly finally left the Waterford area, wandering through Calera, where Smith eventually found her.

“We will never leave her,” Carla Smith said, “She is family.”

Dolly is being looked after and cared for now and being treated at Calera Animal Hospital for malnourishment and parasites after spending 3 years being uncared and unloved, however Dolly is expected to recover fully and live her life now loved.
